Of course the best way to learn the commands is to experiment with them,
you don't have to be worried about messing up your system as long as you 
don't use "sudo" command.
Also have a look on google for bash commands as that is the shell you 
will most likely be using.

Most of all just have fun with it, you'll be amazed at what you can do 
with a couple of commands,
enough to kill a couple of hours while your waiting for a kernel to 
compile :-p
